Association Between Isokinetic Lower Extremity Muscle Strength and Bone Mineral Density in Elderly Women With and Without Osteoporosis

Egypt70 participantsStarted 2025-02-08

Plain-language summary

bone density and muscle strength appear to be more related to each other. Examining the association between muscle strength and bone health is very important in recognizing risk factors for lower extremity muscle weakness.
